For M1, learners must explain why business information is important to the success of
an organisation. The growth of Tesco in the UK has depended, in part, on using the
full range of business information to make good decisions to enable growth in the
business. Green-field developments have slowed a...

the total price for the different pieces of equipment available at Business
Solutions.

In this

business
I’m going to now compare the facilities of the different types of
software used in producing business information for the
business. The three different software's that was used were;
Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access and Microsoft Word. Already
one positive from the three are that they are all a part of the
Microsoft Office application so they will have almost the same

features and will have the ability to interlink with each other
and be showed/represented on each individual program.
Excel is also a lot easier to learn since it is meant to be used by
a lot of people. The learning curve for Excel is not really that
steep as most of the things you would need to learn are related
to word processing. Even the more advanced controls and
options do not require a lot of learning. Access is also easy to
use when it has been set-up beforehand. But unlike Excel, the
learning curve of Access gets pretty steep quickly. To
implement the more advanced capabilities of Access, the
person who would set-up the database and interfaces would
need to know programming.
Microsoft Excel and Access are known to be almost the same as
each other as they have almost the same features, however
Microsoft Word does not have almost the same features. It is
more of a (word-based) basis for businesses to take notes and
write their own big picture. In this case, Word was used to show
all this information and it was the key in bringing the
information from Access and Excel onto one document, by
taking (pictures made by computers of their screens) of data on
each application and placing them onto this Word document so
without Microsoft Word, this Job would've been harder to
complete.
When comparing Microsoft Access and Microsoft Excel, they
both allow users the opportunity to add letters and numbers.
Their normal documents are almost the same as they both
have columns and rows, which are titled differently (Spread
sheet and computer file full of information). Excel will have a bit
of an advantage in the fact that it can do calculations and
therefore may be more good for producing things such as
(related to managing money) reports. More than one spread
sheet and Database can be produced on a single document.
They both have a high amount of storage; they can work with
huge numbers of amounts of rows.
